Tayrona National Park Trips & Tours

Ravishing beaches & abundant jungle echo with the ruins of an ancient civilisation.
A tapestry of tropical rainforest, flaxen beaches and pristine coral reefs, Tayrona National Park, occupies a beautiful stretch of Colombia's Caribbean coast. This natural paradise encompasses a diversity of landscapes, from sun-dappled mangroves to cloud forests and coral reefs. The park also houses the remnants of the Tayrona civilisation, like the crumbling ruins of Pueblito, offering a fascinating glimpse into Colombia's heritage. Whether you prefer to do your exploring amongst ancient structures or underwater coral formations, Tayrona is a yard stick for scenic escapes. And just to top it off, visit a local fishing village, where you can enjoy fresher than fresh seafood.
